Locating the source of diffusion is a challenging problem in complex networks and has great practical significance for restraining rumors propagation and controlling epidemics spreading. An efficient locating method should have a higher locating accuracy with the minimum required information. Although existing locating methods based on observers consider the time delays of edges, they compute the time delays based on the shortest path, which may differ from the actual diffusion process. Moreover, the higher locating accuracy of traditional method with observers has a great dependence on the assumption that the propagation delays along edges follow a definite distribution such as the Gaussian distribution. In order to solve these shortcomings, this paper proposes a Physarum-inspired method to locate the diffusion source that is independence of the distribution of propagation delays. Our method quantifies the nutrient transportation process in the adaptive network evolved by Physarum, which is used to simulate the information or epidemic diffusion routes in a social network. Simulation results on various benchmark networks show that our method has a better performance in terms of error distance than that of Gaussian method without assuming the definite distribution of time delays. Together with the advantage that our method does not require the sender information of observers compared with existing methods, our method allows for a wider range of applications in the real-world networks.

Gabor filters are generally regarded as the most bionic filters corresponding to the visual perception of human. Their filtered coefficients thus are widely utilized to represent the texture information of irises. However, these wavelet-based iris representations are inevitably being misaligned in iris matching stage. In this paper, we try to improve the characteristics of bionic Gabor representations of each iris via combining the local Gabor features and the key-point descriptors of Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT), which respectively simulate the process of visual object class recognition in frequency and spatial domains. A localized approach of Gabor features is used to avoid the blocking effect in the process of image division, meanwhile a SIFT key point selection strategy is provided to remove the noises and probable misaligned key points. For the combination of these iris features, we propose a support vector regression based fusion rule, which may fuse their matching scores to a scalar score to make classification decision. The experiments on three public and self-developed iris datasets validate the discriminative ability of our multiple bionic iris features, and also demonstrate that the fusion system outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

One of the major problems of axiom pinpointing for incoherent terminologies is the precise positioning within the conflict axioms. In this paper we present a formal notion for the entailment-based axiom pinpointing of incoherent terminologies, where the parts of an axiom is defined by atomic entailment. Based on these concepts, we prove the one-to-many relationship between existing axiom pinpointing with the entailment-based axiom pinpointing. For its core task, calculating minimal unsatisfiable entailment, we provide algorithms for OWL DL terminologies using incremental strategy and Hitting Set Tree algorithm. The feasibility of our method is shown by case study and experiment evaluations.

Based on the vast domain resources of RDF (S) on the web and SPARQL's powerful query ability, this article presents a new method of designment of E-R model. The steps for this design are: (1) Formu- lating SPARQL rules (including resource query rules and schema query rules) by the analysis of RDF (S)'s structure. (2) Parsing the optimal resource obtained through the query sentences. (3) Completing the de- signment by taking advantages of the translation from RDF (S) model to entity-relationship model in accordance with the content queried. The re- sults indicate that, the designment of E-R model based on RDF (S) could restore user real requirements of great possibilities and help database de- signer to complete design in a strange area.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a kind of imaging modality, which offers clearer images of soft tissues than computed tomography (CT). It is especially suitable for brain disease detection. It is beneficial to detect diseases automatically and accurately. We proposed a pathological brain detection method based on brain MR images and online sequential extreme learning machine. First, seven wavelet entropies (WE) were extracted from each brain MR image to form the feature vector. Then, an online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) was trained to differentiate pathological brains from the healthy controls. The experiment results over 132 brain MRIs showed that the proposed approach achieved a sensitivity of 93.51%, a specificity of 92.22%, and an overall accuracy of 93.33%, which suggested that our method is effective.

This paper develops a novel online algorithm, namely moving average stochastic variational inference (MASVI), which applies the results obtained by previous iterations to smooth out noisy natural gradients. We analyze the convergence property of the proposed algorithm and conduct a set of experiments on two large-scale collections that contain millions of documents. Experimental results indicate that in contrast to algorithms named 'stochastic variational inference' and 'SGRLD', our algorithm achieves a faster convergence rate and better performance.

In previous studies, non-distance-dependent surveillance strategies have improved the performance of contagious outbreaks detection. In this paper, we propose a new distance-dependent strategy that does not require ascertainment of global or local network structure, namely, simply monitoring the relative significance difference of randomly selected individuals in school and workplace. To evaluate whether such two group could indeed provide early detection, we studied a flu outbreak in contact network simulation experiments. Our experimental results show that this method could provide significant additional time to react to epidemics, especially when the infection rate is not large.
